The New York Police Department found him with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and torso near 899 Crescent Street. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. Initial reports suggest the shooting may have been linked to an attempted robbery. Singh had moved to the US 13 years ago after taking a loan, hoping to support his family in India. His father, Pyara Lal, said he worked tirelessly to build a better life. The family has appealed to the Indian government to help bring his body back and urged US authorities to arrest the shooter. The killing follows the recent shooting death of Suresh Patel, a Gujarati store owner, in Tennessee, raising fresh concerns about the safety of Indians in the US. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Live Mint and Greatandhra report the facts similarly, with no discernible political slant.
